We cannot know what lies ahead from day to passing day, what changes God is planning in his wise and loving way, we cannot know the reasons he allows both joy and tears, why we must lose the precious ones, we’ve cherished through the years. We cannot know-but we can trust and faith can help us find, our way to those tomorrows that will bring us peace of mind. ~Lovingly submitted, The Family
